Brutal Summer Weather Stressing Plants | August in My Carolina Garden
August in My Carolina Garden is very different than May. Now is when you see brutal summer weather stressing plants, flowers, and their growing environments.

This is a video exploring my front yard, and August in My Carolina Garden, located in coastal North Carolina.
My name is Nicole Roggeman and I garden in USDA growing zone 8B in Wilmington, NC. My Echinacea is suffering, my Canna Lilies aren't looking their best, and the drought, now lots of rain is challenging my flowerbeds. Hopefully you are still able to enjoy this front yard garden tour, even though everything isn't looking it's...

    Thank you so much for this video! First thing I did was pause and go follow you on IG. I will NOT cut my banana trees back low this year no matter how they look LOL. I'm in heavy clay soil, but most of my bananas I actually went a little weird and planted them in my raised beds. But I wanted height and with them being raised already they should look massive after a couple of years. I'm lining the area around the raised beds with Louisiana Iris (love the foliage, don't care if they ever bloom) elephant ears and hardy hibiscus. With any luck I can stick some ferns in there without them getting too much sun. I'm hoping to completely hide the raised beds from view because mine are really kinda ugly IMO. Your tropical garden style has been such an inspiration :) I'm so glad I found your channel.

      @sharonhart1232 thank you for this sweet message! I appreciate it so much! Yes, I made the mistake of cutting my bananas to the ground at first, then the next year I ran a test, cutting some low and others high, what a difference!! Your plans for around your raised beds sound great!! You should get some really good growth with those plant selections (not to mention beautiful vibe!) Have a great weekend!!

    Hi Nicole, thank you for sharing your helpful recommendations to help our plants survive in our zones. I look seeing the blank canvas your yard once was! A lot if hard work over the years has paid off in your tropical garden🌴🪴👒🪴

    Thanks for sharing the info! I think all the time and love you’ve invested in your garden is the reason has grown so successfully for you. All the days of hand watering, you really know your garden and it shows. Your soil is wonderful, very similar to mine. I also amend if needed. The builder added a lot of sand, so up near the house, I definitely had to add some topsoil with compost.

      @SaltwaterMom3 thank you, I appreciate this message very much! Growing in sandy soil was a bit of a learning curve for me, but in a lot of ways, I'd take it over the hard clay lots of people struggle with. You have the added challenge of even more brutal sun and temps. Whew!! Here's to keeping going!! 💪🌞

      @@mycarolinagarden that’s the truth! When we were in Greenville, NC, I planted three Emerald Green Arborvitae in the backyard and digging into clay was something I had never experienced. I had never seen soil that basically turned to rock when it dried out. I’ll take the sandy soil every day of the week! 😂

    do you just let the water drain into the soil or are you tipping the pot on its side to prevent the water and aphids from running back into the soil?

    • @mycarolinagarden
      @mycarolinagarden 5 дней назад

      Since my plant is so much bigger than the pot, the bugs and water were washed away and didn't go in the pot.

    Just stumbled across your channel. The garden looks very nice. I too garden here in North Carolina. The rain has definitely made the fire ants a little worse than usual. I’m never out in. The garden without socks and boots. Have you looked at Rhino greenhouses? More expensive than harbor freight, but one that should hold up to the weather.

      Hi there! Thanks so much for your message. Gearing up for lots of rain the next few days, so we'll see how that goes. No I haven't looked into other greenhouses since I got this one, and if really like to stick it out longer if I can replace panels on it to make the work worth it. Gardening is a labor of love for sure! ☺️💚
